Gu An arrived at Luo Shengtang on the third day,
and his bitter cultivation was complete.
In addition, his spells were also maxed out.
In three days, earth-shattering changes had occurred.
Truly, one should look at him with new eyes after three days of separation.
At noon, Gu An returned to his residence.
He saw Senior Brother Zhuang on the way.
Gu An said he was going back to rest for a while and would go to cut wood immediately.
The other party felt that he should rest now, and he would go to cut wood.
Hearing this, how could Gu An agree?
He earnestly persuaded him for a long time, finally interrupting the other party's idea of cutting wood.
Only then did Gu An return to extract his bitter cultivation.
His cultivation in the early stage of Returning Void was promoted to the middle stage of Returning Void.
After the bitter cultivation was extracted, the dream began.
In the dream, he cultivated day after day, year after year.
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years.
In this long time, he only did one thing, and that was cultivation.
After fifty years, he felt that he had reached his peak and could try to break through.
Three years later, the breakthrough failed, but fortunately, nothing changed.
After ten years of recuperation, his cultivation reached its peak again.
This time, he felt the bottleneck, and then used all his strength to break through the gate of the middle stage of Returning Void.
Everything went smoothly.
Thus, Gu An opened his eyes.
At this time, the power in his body began to transform, and the power belonging to the middle stage of Returning Void spread out.
Even his aura could crush the previous early stage of Returning Void. Clenching his fist, Gu An felt that he was ridiculously strong now,
but there was no comparison.
He didn't know any fellow disciples with Returning Void cultivation.
Those with Returning Void cultivation were either direct disciples or some senior brothers or ordinary deacons and elders who had been in the sect for many years.
And these people would never come to trouble a Golden Core cultivator like him.
Hiding his cultivation had this benefit, that is, he wouldn't offend anyone too strong.
After all, he rarely came into contact with them.
Even if he really offended them, they wouldn't personally take action.
And as long as they weren't Returning Void, he could deal with however many came.
But this was only for the sect.
The Reincarnation lineage and the Heavenly Maiden lineage were not.
One was for a marriage partner for the royal family, and the other was for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
Not to mention Returning Void, even stronger people might come.
Gu An already knew about the Six Institutes choosing a marriage partner.
But he stood in an invincible position from the start,
which meant that others might be chosen, but he was the only one who couldn't.
Because he was now an undercover agent of the Reincarnation lineage.
And the royal family would never want a marriage partner from the Reincarnation lineage.
In this way, becoming an undercover agent of the Reincarnation lineage was not all bad.
After his cultivation was improved, it was still dark.
After that, he extracted his spells.
It was still to improve Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
Qi Sea Heavenly罡 didn't have any other changes, it was just a long accumulation.
Waiting for the Qi Sea Heavenly罡罡 Qi to fill the Qi Sea.
The long accumulation exceeded one hundred and fifty years.
Finally, he successfully filled the Qi Sea with 罡 Qi.
After that, he hit the 罡 Qi on the boulder.
In an instant, he felt more Glacier 罡 Qi melt, turning into water vapor, floating in the sky.
There was a clear contrast with the Glacier 罡 Qi below.
This improvement increased the power of Qi Sea Heavenly罡 somewhat.
But he couldn't test the power of the 罡 Qi.
Maybe he'll have a chance later.
Then Gu An found that it was already the second half of the night, and he had to go to cut wood quickly, otherwise he would be late.
But when he woke up, he found that the Ring of Destiny had feedback.
On the way to the forest, he took a look.
[Yesterday at noon, Chen Tai discussed with the elder and decided to induce Gu poison to harm Chen Changfeng. He is not sure what this Gu poison is, but after using it once, it will make Chen Changfeng unable to speak or move in five or six days, like a hopeless case. In fifteen or sixteen days, Chen Changfeng will be in a life-or-death situation.
Only in this way can you be forced to release people, and Chen Changfeng will still be theirs at that time.
You can only sell it at a low price.
He smiled and said to the close fairy that this was the Gu poison that Chen Changfeng had found, and it was most suitable to use on him.
The fairy curiously asked if he was not afraid that Chen Changfeng would bear a grudge?
Chen Tai smiled and told the other party that he only needed to tell the other party that it was to save people.
If he doesn't come out, then let Chen Changfeng die.
If he cannot be used by them, there is no value in living, after all, he may be used by others.
He plans to go to Cangmu Sect in ten days. At that time, Chen Changfeng must be on the verge of death.
If you don't release people, you will suffer a loss.]
Gu An carried his axe and walked in the moonlight.
A long time ago, he knew that these people would cause him trouble.
At that time, he was tempted to see if the other party's heart was good.
But he gave up.
He didn't want to be an enemy of Chen Changfeng, so it wasn't time to form a feud.
He didn't expect that these people would be so decisive.
Entangling endlessly.
Gu shook his head slightly and mocked himself: "People with ruthless hearts live better."
After that, Gu An didn't think much, but continued to cut wood.
At present, he should improve his cultivation first.
Today is the fourth day, and in three days, his spells should be able to improve again.
He just doesn't know if there is a chance to improve his cultivation.
Gu An came to the forest and began to cut wood, not daring to hesitate at all.
The axe was held firmly in his hand, and he chopped down again and again.
As time passed, warm currents also appeared.
Spells plus one.
Spells plus one.
At this time, the sky was already beginning to brighten.
Gu An handed in the power in the axe, barely completing yesterday's amount.
Thus, Gu An immediately resumed cutting wood.
The fourth day passed.
No one came to disturb Gu An. Those people should also be busy improving themselves.
The fifth day passed.
Still no one came.
On the sixth day, Gu An's spells were full until the evening.
And bitter cultivation only had twenty-one points.
Soon.
The only pity is that it's the sixth day, and there are only six days left.
I'm afraid I can't improve my cultivation anymore.
But I can still improve Qi Sea Heavenly罡.
I have to continue to work hard.
After returning, Gu An extracted his spells, and Qi Sea Heavenly罡 was promoted to the fourth level without any surprise.
The fourth level of the fifth volume, there should be very few people in the world who can reach his level.
The sky was not yet bright, and Gu An continued to go to the forest to cut wood.
The people who managed the forest were stunned.
This was the first time they had seen a disciple being exploited so much.
He had to cut wood almost every day.
No time for anything else.
Too pitiful.
This team really squeezed people with low cultivation at will.
Gu An didn't know what the other party was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely defend those people.
They were all good senior brothers and sisters who took care of their junior brothers.
On the evening of the seventh day, Senior Sister Ye Qi came.
Gu An was slightly surprised: "Why is Senior Sister here? Please leave the wood cutting to me."
Hearing this, Ye Qi smiled and said: "Junior Brother, you are different from what is rumored."
Gu An looked at the other party calmly and said: "They are all rumors."
Ye Qi smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Today is my last day, and I'm leaving. Now there are only two people left in the team, you and Senior Brother Zhuang. He can stay for two more days.
Then it will be just you.
We have been arresting people recently, and the specific situation is all here."
Saying that, the other party gave a book and said: "Senior Brother Zhuang has calculated that people will probably be caught on the tenth day. We can't wait any longer. You should take good care of it. Your score will be very high after you catch them.
It will be easier to go to the Law Enforcement Hall at that time.
In this way, we won't be bullying you, right?"
Gu An took the book, somewhat surprised, but still replied earnestly, "It's not bullying. For me, the fact that my senior brothers and sisters left the lumbering opportunity to me is the greatest help to me.
I'm not good at other things, but I have some experience in lumbering."
Ye Qi shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay, if we have any conflicts of interest in the future, I won't be polite.
After you go back, you have to avoid me. If you provoke me, then you can just wait to suffer."
Gu An nodded seriously: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I will."
After that, Ye Qi left.
Gu An looked at the other party's back and didn't think too much about it, so he put away the book and continued lumbering.
The eighth day was spent lumbering.
On the ninth day, the spell was still not full by evening. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until dawn tomorrow.
But Senior Brother Zhuang came this day.
He said with a smile, "Junior Brother, your luck is really good."
Seeing that Gu An didn't understand, Senior Brother Zhuang continued, "I have already arranged everything. Tomorrow, you can catch him step by step. Remember to go with the team leader tomorrow, or the team leader will not call you.
If you don't, you will suffer a big loss."
As he spoke, he gave him another book: "Junior Sister Ye Qi should have given you one. This is my latest arrangement.
In short, while you are lumbering, you should receive merit points.
You really have a connection with merit points."
Gu An took the things and bowed to thank him.
"There's no need to thank me. The main thing is that we don't have to lumber these days, and we have indeed learned a lot.
The others are not as lucky as we are to have met you, Junior Brother.
I heard that it is difficult to concentrate after lumbering, so they learn less.
It is also your own credit that you, Junior Brother, can get the final merit points," Senior Brother Zhuang said with a smile.
Gu An was silent.
The other party continued, "Junior Brother, you can be busy for a day or two later, and you will be able to get all the merit points. Don't waste them."
After that, the other party left.
Gu An looked at the other party's departing back, and finally shook his head and sighed.
He still decided to give up.
These merit points can only give him a certain chance to join the Law Enforcement Hall, but he doesn't want to join the Law Enforcement Hall.
As for the Luosheng Hall, it is obvious that he cannot join it based on this.
Besides, he has other connections.
Although it will take some time, there is always a way.
These merit points will definitely not play a decisive role.
Since that's the case, it's better to give up and continue lumbering.
In more than two days, the Qi Sea Heavenly Canopy will reach the sixth level.
I wonder if I can shamelessly stay for two more days.
Gu An decided that if no one came to him, he would keep lumbering, as if he had forgotten the time.
On the tenth day, after dawn, the spell was full.
Gu An went back to improve his spell.
Qi Sea Heavenly Canopy, fifth level.
Fortunately, it was only until the afternoon.
Continue lumbering.
On the eleventh day, no one came.
On the twelfth day, no one came.
Gu An was a little flustered.
Because he should leave today.
But the spell was almost full, only five points short.
Hard cultivation would be less.
Only sixty-eight.
After that, Gu An continued lumbering until dawn.
But the spell was still two points short.
Originally, he wanted to continue lumbering.
Team Leader He appeared.
She looked at Gu An, who had been lumbering, and was stunned in place: "What are you doing?"
"Lumbering," Gu An said while lumbering.
After all, there were only the last two points left.
It would be a pity if he didn't continue.
Back at Peak Outside Peak, it would take almost a month to get two points.
"Your time is up. You can stop lumbering," Team Leader He said, with a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.
She originally thought that Gu An would come to her on the tenth day and then catch the person.
After all, those three people worked very hard.
In the end, they all had to make wedding clothes for this Jindan.
But on the tenth day, she waited and waited, but the Jindan didn't come.
She decided to give the other party a chance and wait one more day.
He didn't come on the eleventh day.
He still didn't come on the twelfth day.
It's already the thirteenth day. He actually...
Is still lumbering.
What will happen if you don't lumber?
He only knows how to lumber, and doesn't seize the opportunity to improve at all.
He can't be helped at all.
Looking at the other party's rather vicissitudes appearance, she should have understood.
The other party is old and his thinking is solidified.
Although he understands some worldly affairs, he doesn't know how to seize opportunities.
At this time, Gu An's warm current appeared again, and the spell increased by one.
Forty-nine.
There is only one last point left.
But I'm afraid there won't be any in a short time.
I can only put down the axe.
"Is it over?" Gu An lowered his head and said with a slightly apologetic expression: "I'm sorry for the trouble, Team Leader."
The other party didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand.
Gu An handed over the axe.
"Take this and hand it over to the Law Enforcement Hall, and then you can go back. This experience is over," Team Leader He took the axe and handed a piece of paper to Gu An.
With that, she turned and left.
Gu An looked at the paper and found that it said his comments: He is diligent and hardworking in lumbering. He can lumber for twelve whole days. The overall evaluation is poor!
Gu An: ‘
When he handed the things to Dugu Jing, the other party laughed.
"Lumbered for twelve days?" Dugu Jing said in disbelief: "You should be the only one left in the end, right? Why are you still lumbering?"
"I forgot the time while lumbering," Gu An said half-truthfully.
Dugu Jing accepted the things and said, "I think Junior Brother has no intention of entering the Law Enforcement Hall, but I will keep the things for you. Maybe it can be of some help if you want to come.
After all, not everyone can stay for twelve days.
In addition, being able to lumber for twelve days at once is sometimes a huge advantage.
After all, neither the Law Enforcement Hall nor the Luosheng Hall has such talent."
Gu An bowed slightly, but didn't say anything more.
Since he was about to leave, he shouldn't say anything else.
Too much is as bad as too little.
After returning to Tianxuan Peak first, Gu An returned to Peak Outside Peak.
As soon as he came back, he saw Pang Wen.
The other party looked anxious.
Gu An naturally understood what he was anxious about.
The incident happened on the third day of going to Luosheng Hall.
Today is the thirteenth day.
Only ten days have passed, it's not too late.
Counting the days, Chen Tai and the others should be coming today.
"Team Leader, something happened to Chen Changfeng. Ten days ago, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and then he shouted and screamed in pain.
We used many methods, but they were all useless. Senior Zhao said it was Gu poison.
Chen Changfeng was poisoned with Gu poison, and it was an extremely powerful Gu poison.
He has been unconscious since the fifth day, and now he is on the verge of death and may die at any time.
Senior Qingyao said that if we don't find an antidote, Chen Changfeng will definitely die," Pang Wen said everything in one breath.
Gu An said calmly: "Do you know what kind of Gu poison it is?"
"I don't know, but someone said they could tell us the name of the Gu poison, but the premise is to leave," Pang Wen lowered his head and said, "I dare not agree."
Gu An nodded, and didn't mention these things again, but just said: "Did anyone visit today?"
Pang Wen didn't understand why the team leader wasn't anxious, but he still answered the question: "Yes, that Chen Tai came again."
"Okay, arrange for me to meet him," Gu An said casually.
Pang Wen hesitated and said, "Chen Changfeng said he wanted to see the team leader."
Gu An looked at the other party and said: "Let's meet Chen Tai first."
Pang Wen lowered his head and said: "I will arrange it right away."
